Residency for Fee Purposes
A student’s residency status for fee purposes is determined at the time of admission according to state policy (Code of State Regulations 6 CSR 10-3.010). Copies of the residency policy and petitions for change of residency status are available on the Northwest webpage at https://www.nwmissouri.edu/admissions/apply/residency.htm or by request from the Office of Admissions - Operations. Petitions must be submitted to the Office of Admissions - Operations PRIOR to the beginning of the semester for which the change is desired. Students who qualify for Missouri residency maintain that residency as long as they are continuously enrolled.
